Big Write 

At Scremerston First School we use The Big Write Programme. 

Big Writing is an approach to teaching writing and raising writing standards that focuses on: The importance of TALK and oral rehearsal. Accurate basic skills – spelling, punctuation, grammar and handwriting. Regular and meaningful assessment and target setting.

Phonics 

Children access phonics from the very beginning of Reception at Scremerston First School. We are passionate about ensuring that all of our children receive excellent quality, systematic phonics teaching and learning so that they get the best start in their reading journey.

Cracking comprehension 

Once children have completed the Read Write Inc programme to become a fluent reader they move onto Cracking Comprehension. Cracking comprehension is a programme used to help children practice and improve their reading comprehension skills across a range of text types and genres. A range of different units are completed each half term as these have been mapped out across the year.
